Edgar Anthony Underkofler was 26 when he was killed on October 30, 1982, in Oakwood, Vermilion County, Illinois. He had been reported missing from Rantoul, Illinois, and his remains were later found in a field. Forensic comparison of dental records was used to confirm his identity.

Investigators later linked his killing to Larry Eyler, known as The Highway Killer, who targeted young men and boys and committed murders between 1982 and 1984. Eyler’s crimes reportedly included luring victims, torture, stabbing and leaving remains near highways. Eyler was convicted of murdering 21 people and was suspected in many more.

Does anyone have memories of Edgar, his life in Rantoul, or information about his disappearance and how the case unfolded?
